SOME HINTS OF MILANESE HISTORY FROM THE XIV TO THE XIX CENTURY
THE POST IN MILAN 1849-1859
CATALOGUE OF CANCELLATIONS AND POSTMARKS IN MILAN POST OFFICE

with the cooperation of Gabriele Cafulli, Francesco Luraschi, Massimiliano Ferroni, Giuseppe Antonio Natoli

Description and cataloguing of the Lombardy Venetia postmarks in the Post Office of Milan, from which all correspondence transited, in the period from the introduction of postage stamps to the liberation of 1859. A great variety of uses, shapes, colours, a continuous experimentation of new technologies for the production of handstamps, inks, stamps, papers.

For each handstamp, the characteristics of the impression (size and type of characters); any changes made over time and, when significant for classification, the evolution of the impression in the period of use with different degrees of wearing; the intended use specifying if and when the handstamp was used; the total period of use and the period observed for each intended use; the degree of rarity for each type of use (stamp or cancellation).

Maximum space for "typological" cancellations and postmarks, i.e. those regularly used for a certain period of time or even occasionally in very specific situations. Only a nod is given for the errors in the dates (missing, inverted, etc.) Exhaustive and complete the classification of squared and small circle stamps based on different types in perfect chronological sequence.

Some sections complete the catalogue: examples of the various cases of error in the date composition, registered letters, more details.

Thanks also to the cooperation of enthusiasts and scholars of the most diverse disciplines, the work presents, in addition, Milan postal history from its origins to the end of Austrian domination, the postal reform, postal rates and services, the first and second issue postage stamps, insights, a historical overview.

Philately and postal history of Ethiopia of the period 1895-1936 are well documented; however, until now, no comprehensive documentation was available for the period 1936, end of the Italo-Ethiopian war, to 1974, year of deposition of Emperor Hailé Selassié I. This book now fills the gap.

Throughout the book chapters devoted to the historical backgrounds summarize the facts of the different periods and in some cases indicate the reasons for some issues.
The period 1936-1974, from the end of the Italo-Ethiopian war to the deposition of Emperor Hailé Selassié I, a rather elusive period for the Ethiopian postal history, has been studied. One chapter devoted to the post offices during the Italian occupation reports all the towns and villages that had a post office and the number of different types of cancellors used. Another chapter deals in detail with the postal arrangements of the period January 1941 - 31 January 1942 during the liberation of Italian East Africa (A.O.I.) The types and numbers of Military post cancellors used in Ethiopia during the liberation war are reported together with their period of use in the country.
All the sets issued after the restoration are described in detail giving information not reported in the stamp catalogues. New information is included, therefore: the reasons for the issues, the number of sets printed, the reported and some unreported varieties both of colour and of overprinting and much more information not generally available to collectors.
Many unreported facts deriving from unpublished studies by the author are also included in this new book.

The appendices are an important addition to the book and include a list of the Ethiopian post offices in the period 1942-1974 and a list of the known cancellors with the reproduction of most of them.
The most interesting and new appendix concerns the postal rates of the period 1942 to 1974 which until now were a mystery. The author obtained from U.P.U. the official documentation for surface and airmail rates that were not even available in Ethiopia, thus enlarging the knowledge and the scope of the Ethiopian postal history. This aspect of postal history is completed by the study of the airlines operations from 1940 through the restarting of the Ethiopian Airlines in 1947 and to 1974.
Other appendices include a list of postal stationery, postal cards and registration labels.
An elusive topic is the postal rates of the Italian East Africa, a very difficult sector with some information that shows its difficulty. Other appendices covering other aspects of postal history are also included.

A table of equivalence between catalogues will help collectors of different countries to recognise the sets and stamps that are hidden in the numbering of other catalogues.

Paolo Vollmeier
THE POSTAL HISTORY OF SICILY FROM ITS BEGINNINGS TO THE INTRODUCTION OF THE POSTAGE STAMP

700 pp. - 64 colour tables - b/w ill. - hardbound with colour cover - printed 1998
POINT VALUATIONS
In English

The text comes from the notes and studies by Lorenzo Previteri (the first to make a serious study of the postal history of Sicily in the prephilatelic period), and the book is dedicated to him. Paolo Vollmeier reorganised the material, then translated from Italian into English by Roy A. Dehn.
The study is devoted to the history of the Post under the Bourbons, up until the introduction of postage stamps on 1 January 1859.

This history can be divided into four periods.
1. up to 1535: first regulation for the postal service.
2. from 1535 to May 1786: running of the service contracted out to private persons.
3. from June 1786 to 31 March 1820: in 1786 the postal service was taken back by the state and the first handstamps were introduced in Palermo and Messina.
4. from 1 April 1820 to 31 December 1858: on 1 April 1820 the new postal regulation came into force and 116 post offices were issued with handstamps. Of particular interest are the periods of popular rising against the king in 1820 and 1848/49, which left their mark on the postal service.

PROVISIONAL POSTAGE DUE LABELS OF BOLZANO AND UPPER ADIGE at the end of the first world war

The first world war is at its end. On 3/11/1918 Italy and Austria subscribe a Peace Treaty, which will be signed only on 10/9/1919. In Bolzano and Upper Adige reigns a situation of uncertainty about the destiny of the occupied territory, which influences also the postal service.
The forwarding of mail during these months is really difficult for the authorities in charge, above all when letters are not franked or only partly franked. On the one hand, the territory is under Italian occupation – therefore forced to use Italian postage due labels; on the other hand, these labels, even overprinted, are completely lacking, at least up to the first days of March 1919. This situation compels the Main Post Office in Trent to authorize, with two circulars, Upper Adige post offices to transform, whenever necessary, the postage stamps into provisional postage due labels through hand-stamp or overprint. Each office has the possibility to take its own measures.

ITALIAN MUNICIPAL STAMPS
From their introduction to the end of 1881

Translation from the original text, published in France in 1883, about fiscal stamps issued by the Italian municipalities from 1865, the year of their introduction to collect taxes, to 1881.

Since the issue of fiscal stamps was not regulated by official decrees, there are not many official documents like decrees, notes addressed to the public, or handwritten regulations. The important pieces of information in this volume are, therefore, the result of research and analysis of documents such as letters and invoices of printers and engravers, and verbal reports by municipalities attendants.

The fiscal stamps are presented in alphabetical order and by region, following the subdivision of the Kingdom of Italy of the time (Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy, Venetias, Emilia, Marches, Umbria, Tuscany, Latium, Abruzzi and Molise, Campania, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily, Sardinia), with the reproduction and a technical-descriptive table. At the end of the volume there are two indexes, one in alphabetical order and the other divided by region.
